Parental Release & Waiver

The above minor has my permission to participate in duties assigned as a volunteer for the City of Pasadena. I am aware that this volunteer assignment may present a risk of injury. In consideration for allowing him/her to participate in this project, I agree to assume all risks for injuries arising out of his/her participation as a volunteer. I agree that the City of Pasadena and all employees, officials, agents, representatives and sureties of the City shall NOT be responsible or liable for any injury, damage, loss or expense to his/her person and/or property incurred while working as a volunteer.

In the event that I cannot be reached in an emergency, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by the staff to hospitalize and secure proper treatment for my child. If an ambulance is needed, the staff has my permission to call one. Medical expenses will be my responsibility. (I understand that the City provides volunteer insurance for medical treatment resulting from injury during volunteer activities, but the insurance does not apply until any other coverage available to me has been used.)

The Pasadena Public Library reserves the right to schedule and assign tasks on the discretion of the Volunteer Supervisor.
